Conclusion
Thermal management is gaining priority as the number of transistors per IC increases in modern computers.
The flow loop, its manual, and both experiment manuals have been completed and delivered to the client on time and were approved

Recommendations
Extensions to experiments: 2 – phase flow experiments Slug flow experiments
Improvements to flow loop: Pressure transducers with increased voltage range More accurate rotameter Different housing design – improved fit between
copper block and housing, easier manipulation of o-rings
